Pantheon Desktop on Debian

Pantheon Desktop for Debian are packages taken from elementary, adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian Stretch and on Debian Buster (testing).

Pantheon Desktop packages cannot be tested as extensively as Debian Stretch/Buster, and this packages are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian. Use with care!

The Pantheon Desktop was based under current Elementary Loki branch for Stretch, and under Elementary Juno branch for Buster. The repository located at http://gandalfn.ovh/debian contains:

  • a branch for stretch: stretch-loki with the following architectures:

    • amd64

    • i386
